More than ever, I am convinced it is. Jesus wants to meet with you as surely as He met with Mary and Martha that long-ago day in Bethany. He wants to reveal Himself to you, filling you with His presence and His\u003cbr\u003elove so that His grace spills through you to a dry and thirsty world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough our initial introduction to Mary and Martha is only four verses long, I believe this brief story has the power to literally change our lives. So let’s begin! As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a\u003cbr\u003ewoman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:38–42)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheme Verse\u003cbr\u003eCome to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.\u003cbr\u003eMatthew 11:28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiscussion Questions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
